The course of TelecoConnection started in 2023, and it was full of related activities:
- Prizes to the best three incoming academic records for the Bachelor’s Degree in Telecommunication Technologies Engineering in the year 2022/23.
Thanks to three supporting companies of TelecoConnection (Optare Solutions, Centum R&T and BorgWarner), three students were awarded with 2.000 € each at an event held on 7th March 2023 in the EET.
The newspaper Faro de Vigo talked about this and gathered the opinion of the awarded students.
